Hey guys, I've just started my interest in photography having owned a few PNS cameras before this. I bought a black Sony NEX-3A (with 16mm f2.8 lens) last Wednesday in good faith as I thought the shop has a good reputation among locals here. To my dismay when I returned home, and as I was looking at the box, I found a sticker which states "demo body + flash". I thought nothing serious about that until I used the camera for the first time today and when I transferred the photos to the computer, I noticed that the first photo numbering is 5883, and not 0001 unlike other new cameras which I owned before this.

Does that mean that the shutter count has reached 5883, and that 5882 photos were taken before my usage? And it's not a "completely whole new camera"? And if so, I wonder if I could lodge a complaint against the place and consider returning the camera and obtain a full refund if I could? I'm a noob in photography, hence would appreciate all advices given by you guys. Many thanks in advance!

Wait, I have to rephrase what he said...he asked me to bring it back so he can have a look cos his staff may have made a mistake. He did not mention about changing it. Lol...I surely hope he'll change after seeing it else I'll complain will not remove all the evidences for sure! Thank you for your advise

Thats scary yo.. Demo sets.. Kena molest by many ppl before. 

Meh, new member here.... Am confuse... I didn't get a bag as freebie... So how to carry out my cam out? If I buy a bag, how to put it into the bag? Lol.. Nid separate the lens and body? I thought it will be nt gud for the body if keep separate the lens? Lol,,, totally newbie in dslr and picked Sony as my 1st.

and since u got big ass lens like the sigma 70-200~ better go for a580 + VG lar~ a55 too small for that~ a55 is even too small for the f58am lor~ 

if functions~ a700 has it all lor~

Hi fellas, I want to print my daughter's aqiqah kenduri shoots into a hardcover album. Mind telling what are the things that i need to prepare and where can i get good bargains for it. My primary concern is i edit it on an uncalibrated notebook. Does the output will be different too much? Here's an example.
